Two Times the Charm novel Chapter 7

"Taylor... Taylor, no, it's not what you think. Let me explain!" Clara suddenly furrowed her brows, gripping Emmett's sleeve tightly, and then her eyes flew open!

This man's eyes... they were so similar to that pair she saw that night!

"Who are you?"

Years of caution drove Clara to throw a punch his way before even getting an answer. Emmett took the punch, frozen in place.

Who would have thought that he, the CEO of Melendez Company and the only heir of the Melendez family, would get punched by a woman he'd never met before!

"Sir, are you alright?" Matt hurried over, pushing Clara aside and checking Emmett's condition, "This woman is ungrateful! Our boss saved her and she dares to hit him!"

Realizing that she'd punched the wrong person, Clara hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, it was unintentional! I'll take responsibility if you're hurt!"

"Can you really afford to? This gentleman is the CEO of Melendez! Can you compensate for any work he might miss because of this?"

The CEO of Melendez?! Clara's eyes widened in shock. That meant... he was the big boss of her new company. The one who would be signing her paycheck!

"Matt." Emmett spoke in a low voice, "Leave us."

"…Yes, sir."

Though reluctant, Matt didn't dare to defy Emmett's order! He wondered what got into Emmett today!
